1932 Martin 5-17T
Serial # 51519. A beguiling little tenor, with all kinds of built in inspiration. It's a small instrument that's tuned to C, and has a sweetness, sustain, and rich warmth to its voice. A difficult instrument to set down, the guitar is very easy to play, and about as comfortable a size as one could imagine.

Original bridge, saddle, tuners, and finish. Beautifully set up. 11-1/4" wide body, 23" scale length, 14 frets to the body, 1-3/16" nut width.
With original chipboard arch-top case
